Carp Jumping Dragon Gate

the temple gorge, also known as the magnificent gorge.

the two phoenix mountains of twirling phoenix, which draw the sky, stand in the middle of the river, and the glamorous carp jumps the dragon door, is alive and alive, and is magnificent.

into the canyon, two mountain stairwells, cliffs, cliffs, wall peaks, and strange rock walnuts that race along the wall and make the canyon a fairyland.

this magically wonderful canyon has a beautiful story.

a long time ago, the villagers of the long creek river, the men and women, lived a happy life.

for a year, from nowhere, a great yellow dragon was made to be evil.

it either calls for rain to destroy crops or swallows the clouds and destroys life, making the entire canyon in a discomfort.

on 6 june each year, on its birthday, it is forced to offer a pair of young boys and girls and 10 big cows, 100 pigs, sheep, etc.

otherwise, it would be angry, open the mouth of the bloodbath, rush into the village and devour human animals, destroy the fields, and cause the people of the river dening to complain and to cry.

in the town of the canyon canyon, there was a beautiful, smart girl named jade, who was determined to get rid of the dragon.

on a number of occasions, she went up to the cloud and looked for help from the fairies of the cloud, and she did not find it.

she's still not discouraged.

keep looking.

in the morning, she went up to the clouds and the fairies were touched by her spirit, and she showed up, pointing out to her: “there's a carp hole a thousand miles from here, you can meet a carp fairy, and she can certainly help you.” she said she would leave the fairies in the clouds, walk through the mountains, go to the carp hole, find the carp fairies, and explain.

the carp fairy said, "you want to kill the people, it's a good thing, but you have to sacrifice yourself! can you do that?" jade has no hesitation in saying, "i'm willing to kill the dragon for the sake of the country's people, even if it's on the mount of swords, in the sea of fire and in pieces." the carp fairy saw her with such sincerity and determination, noding her head to her full satisfaction and sprayed her with three white springs, turning her into a beautiful, fresh red carp.

the little red wall went back to the river and went back home after seven hundred and forty-nine days.

it was in the early morning of june 6th that she turned her back on her face and saw that the people were ready: a pair of boys and girls, 10 big cows and 100 fat sheep and pigs.

the drums were pounding like a dragon to the mouth of the canyon where the yellow dragon was sacrificed, and the young boy in the red dress in front was already crying.

wong long, who saw the people arrive at the feast, has long been snuffed and proudly opened his mouth.

as this thousand fished out, yu-guk stopped his parents and his family and said: “everyone pauses here and let me go and take care of this evil man.” as soon as he had said it, she had jumped into the water, turned into a big red carp, leaped into the mouth of the dragon, stomped into its belly, strangled it to the east, strangled the dragon's venom, struggled and rolled over, but was in vain and killed.

but jade is buried in huang's belly.

since then, the people of ning river have lived in peace and security.

peopleA carp temple has been built on the side of the canyon to honour the memory of Yu's victim.

So far, the story of carp jumping dragons has been widely heard in the Ning River.
